X-Men (2000) 82% EDIT “The best news is that you don't even have to know what a Marvel Comic is to enjoy X-Men.” – Jam! Movies Jul 15, 2015 Full Review E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) 99% EDIT “Time has done little to diminish the power of E.T.'s signature moments.” – Jam! Movies Jun 19, 2015 Full Review Chicken Run (2000) 97% EDIT “The claymation comedy Chicken Run is eggsactly what the doctor ordered. It's a witty, high-spirited adventure that will appeal to moviegoers of all ages. Call it chicken soup for the funny bone.” – Jam! Movies Aug 24, 2014 Full Review Bless the Child (2000) 4% EDIT “Bless the Child is unsettling but it is never really terrifying. It's closer to a scary dream than a true nightmare.” – Jam! Movies Jul 22, 2014 Full Review Battlefield Earth (2000) 3% EDIT “One can only hope for John Travolta's sake that his sci-fi epic Battlefield Earth was meant to be an uproarious comedy. If not, everyone connected with it is in deep, deep trouble.” – Jam! Movies Apr 30, 2014 Full Review In the Mood for Love (2000) 92% EDIT “In the Mood for Love is a beautifully understated and heart-wrenching story of unrequited passion.” – Jam! Movies Apr 15, 2014 Full Review Amélie (2001) 90% EDIT “Tautou is a remarkable young actress. Her wide-eyed, gamine look, reminiscent of a young Audrey Hepburn or Leslie Caron, gives Amelie an innocence and vulnerability that is so essential to make the story work.” – Jam! Movies Apr 9, 2014 Full Review Memento (2000) 93% EDIT “Pearce's central performance is as compelling as the film's premise and Nolan's execution of it. In Pearce's hands, Leonard is a time bomb with a short fuse.” – Jam! Movies Mar 26, 2014 Full Review Underworld: Evolution (2006) 17% 2/5 EDIT “It's interesting and very telling that in the credits the actors are named last. It's Wiseman's way of acknowledging his films are not about performances but special effects.” – Jam! Movies Jul 1, 2006 Full Review The Lake House (2006) 35% 2.5/5 EDIT “The problem lies with whoever insisted Bullock and Reeves be so dour and melancholy.” – Jam! Movies Jun 16, 2006 Full Review Nacho Libre (2006) 39% 2/5 EDIT “It's initially very funny but it's a sight gag that runs out of steam about the fourth or fifth time Black dons his luchador costume.” – Jam! Movies Jun 16, 2006 Full Review A Prairie Home Companion (2006) 81% 3/5 EDIT “A Prairie Home Companion glides along effortlessly offering some sweet sentiment, loads of gentle laughs and some great little musical moments.” – Jam! Movies Jun 9, 2006 Full Review District B13 (2004) 81% 3/5 EDIT “The problem with front loading a film with such spectacular stunts is director Pierre Morel has nowhere to go.” – Jam! Movies Jun 2, 2006 Full Review Just My Luck (2006) 14% 2/5 EDIT “Lindsay Lohan's new romantic comedy, Just My Luck, is strictly for tweens.” – Jam! Movies May 12, 2006 Full Review Hoot (2006) 26% 2.5/5 EDIT “He [Shriner] creates some charming moments and a few exciting ones, but he can't seem to tie them all together and sustain the pacing.” – Jam! Movies May 5, 2006 Full Review Akeelah and the Bee (2006) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT “It is because Palmer's performance is so real and centred that we become so involved in Akeelah's quest.” – Jam! Movies Apr 28, 2006 Full Review Stick It (2006) 30% 2.5/5 EDIT “Stick It can't stand up under too much scrutiny. It's cliched and contrived, but it does play well to its target audience of young females.” – Jam! Movies Apr 28, 2006 Full Review United 93 (2006) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Paul Greengrass's United 93 is beyond devastating. His film about the events of Sept. 11, 2001, is all the more numbing because it is handled with such dignity and efficiency.” – Jam! Movies Apr 28, 2006 Full Review The Sentinel (2006) 34% 2.5/5 EDIT “The Sentinel is not half bad, but it's not nearly as good as it could have been.” – Jam! Movies Apr 21, 2006 Full Review American Dreamz (2006) 39% 3/5 EDIT “It may be seriously flawed, but American Dreamz is still amusing and pleasantly subversive.” – Jam! Movies Apr 21, 2006 Full Review Scary Movie 4 (2006) 34% 2/5 EDIT “Scary Movie 4 has the feel of a film thrown together for a deadline, rather than conceived to poke fun at haunted house, ghost, alien and pop culture movies.” – Jam! Movies Apr 14, 2006 Full Review Take the Lead (2006) 44% 3.5/5 EDIT “Take the Lead is equal parts To Sir with Love and Fame and it's a surprisingly effective mix.” – Jam! Movies Apr 7, 2006 Full Review Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006) 56% 4/5 EDIT “Ice Age: The Meltdown is a joy from start to finish, as nutty and irreverent as its tiny hero Scrat.” – Jam! Movies Mar 31, 2006 Full Review Six Figures (2005) 83% 3/5 EDIT “It's Bourne's subtle and nuanced performance, and not the veiled whodunit nature of the plot that makes Six Figures compelling.” – Jam! Movies Mar 31, 2006 Full Review Slither (2006) 87% 3/5 EDIT “Slither is the equivalent of an emotional workout. It will have you squirming, screaming, jumping, chortling, howling and groaning.” – Jam! Movies Mar 31, 2006 Full Review
